This photo series is diverse, beautiful, educational, and captivating. All things we truly admire. When photographer, Mihaela Noroc, decided to capture photos of women from 37 different countries she had one goal in mind — to show the world that beauty is found everywhere.

Noroc, who originally hails from Romania, quit her job 2 years ago and decided to build a new life. She grabbed her belongings and her camera and started travelling the world, snapping photos of natural women surrounded by their cultures along the way. She dubbed the project, “The Atlas of Beauty”.
